NAMES WITHHELD
Conl rlbul ln, Writer.
In a recent class discussion in education. we found ounelves
involved in the Quite the debate. The subject of sex education was
brought up through a passage in a class text During this discussion.
we ~ame more mterested in the subject and decided to interview
10 students for an activist project. We consulted a health teacher at
an area high school and perused scholarly journals, books. and
pamphlets concerning seK education. We discovered that the
backgrounds ofthe students interviewed were substantially diffC1'Cnt,
but that all were laughtto abstain from sex and thai it is dangerous.
When we pooled Our knowledge with the infonnation from the
intervieW!;, we reali~ed that thecurrcnt teaching ofabstincnce is in
some ways appropriate. but becomes unrealislic as a child ages. II
seems that our country's education system finds it necessary 10 deny
the good parts ofSt:.>:. assuming that scaring kids out oFhaving sex is
the bcsl solution. The problem is. fear only hOlds people back For so
long. and sometimes encourages dcfiance. If the whole \nIth is
preSented. children will have a more accurate view ofwhal seX is­good
and bad- and can make beller decisions for themsclves.

of my grade school educalion. In fourth grnde. my fatherexplai!led some basics aboul sex. His explanation
included a dcscriplion of body parts and their functions during sex. I learned al this point only what was
necessary toprocreatc. My father said nothing relaling to love or the emotions involved in having sex.
My mothcr did not play any part in my sexual education: it was Dot something \0 be discussed. Perhaps
she was waiting for the situation to arise. but by then I wasalrcady aware thatlhe topic was taboo.
In seventh grade. my high schoo! required students to take a health class. In Ihis class, pUberty.
drugs. and some infonnation On sex were discussed. However. abstinence was emphasized, and therefore
education was stifled. II seemed as though the school wanted to avoid the subject.just as my parents
did. [n tenth grade. health class was again a

After months of hard work. the
track seaSQn is coming to a close.
Freshmen continue to dominate the
wQmen's field at Nazareth. as Jessemyn
Russell and Liz Bums lead the girls.
Nev.·comer Kenny Taylor has become a
strong runner on the men's side. as has
senior Jim RoJincc. Russell masters in the
high jump, the 200 meter dash. and the
100 metcr hurdles. while Bums is a
standout in the 800 meter run. the 1500
